Dear users

During the summer period, the support team will be understaffed, which will slow down resolution of problems.

Creation and/or extension of accounts will be on hold until 26th of august.

Loïs and Jessica, on behalf of PSMN Staff.

An “intervention” will happen today (03-07-2024) on the main ENSL network, at 12h45. There might be some cutoffs occuring.

• REMINDER:
  • starting today:
    • E5 wall time has been reduced to 4 hours walltime
    • new partition E5-short, with 30 minutes walltime
    • new partition E5-long, with 8 days walltime

Please update your submission scripts.

Documentation has been updated and reflect current state.

• Also, a proactive RAM replacement operation is ongoing on a bunch of nodes (mostly C6420 on Lake cluster), including cl6226comp[1-2] login nodes, r740bigmem201 (Lake-bigmem) and r740gluster229 (/scratch/Cral on Cascade cluster).

An infiniband switch died this morning (mostly in E5-GPU), cutting off scratches and MPI connections. It has been replaced.

REMINDER:

• starting yesterday:
  • E5 is in DRAIN mode, to be modified:
  • E5 wall time will be reduced to 4 hours walltime
  • new partition E5-short, with 30 minutes walltime
  • new partition E5-long, with 8 days walltime
• starting today (this morning): CANCELLED
  • Lake-flix and Cascade-flix will be in DRAIN mode, to be renamed Lake-premium and Cascade-premium

These modifications might take the entire week (due to draining jobs).

Lake-flix and Cascade-flix will be renamed Lake-premium and Cascade-premium later (probably during mandatory October 2024 shutdown)
